Those Golf arches look awesome. And great pics of how you did it too.
Love your work. And glad to see more progress of the old Anglia.

I have been busy with making moulds for the Angular again....as well as get a friends car painted at the same time ! here is the pics of my fibreglass bootlid, i modded the latch to accept an Escort locking striker and key barrel...with gas lift struts it weighs in at 4.5kgs , as to the original lid weighing almost 12 kgs !!     My rusted out bonnet came up ok after some filler and a quick coat of cheapo 2pk , which i use so give the fibreglass mould a decent gloss.

Also i had time to paint the roof of the Angular white as it was originally..    This was the last bit of rust to fix in the body shell, i had it done in an hour. Making up new channel wasnt very hard at all !  I threw out the old Anglia interior light in favor of going a Escort light, all i done was make a plate with a hole that fits the light in and weld to the frame !

As i mentioned earlier, i had a car to respray... a Escort...and he wanted it done in ultra high gloss jet black, bit daunting bit i got at it. The car is(was) a UK import 1972? povvo pack 1100cc drum braker, it will be running a quite hot 2.0 Pinto , Wilwood brakes, Ford Motorsport LSD, Turreted rear shocks, panhard bar, etc etc... These 2x pics are just before i painted it   Her are some shots of the car shortly after i sprayed 4x layers black 2pk and 4x layers clear 2pk

Here is a couple of final pics of the Dakar car panels i repaired..  These panels had pieces missing, prolly still in Nirobi or Angola somewhere so i had to re fabricate and strengthen as well as make the inner arches due to many 1000s of miles being sand blasted !   The front panel was in 3x pieces with the return mounting lip obliterated !

Its been flatout here with the Black Escort being re-assembled .. finding bolts and screws takes time ! While my friend was doing that i was doing my Angula, making mould of the bonnet then making a bonnet with reinforcements for the hinges and locks. This is the fibreglass bonnet , i hosed off the mould release agent  The doors after a date with grit blaster...Manky looking door
